As per many per many other users, heatlink has suddenly died. No lights, etc etc. Without heat!! Not happy. Tried all the troubleshooting and read the forums. Can’t find a solution.
tried these steps:

I had the same problem. I received a replacement and works fine now. It was under warranty, so I got it for free.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. How did you get the replacement?

My thermostat and heat link is still under warranty. I went trough trouble shooting with Support agent. Then they sent me a new one. They gave me a credit to pay for a pro to install, but wasn’t enough. You can’t really buy a heat link, so you have to reach out to support first.

Hi I have the same problem as well. Its still under warranty- how do I arrange for a replacement unit?

You need to support agent. On your Neat App, there is Support. Type you issue and have them call you.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem in our 3rd gen nest thermostat heatlink (UK-EU) version.
I have the same situation as jewelzowen:
tried these steps:
-It is not supplying power to the thermostat (it works & charges independently via USB)
-LEDs on heat link are not powering on
-We have tried different sockets, all of them work but the heat link does not.
-no fuses related, no changes on the electrical system, no storms or anything that could have damaged the system
-Tried pressing the button for 30 sec several times: still no led on
-Nest was installed 11 months ago
Please, google Nest customer service, could you help with this issue?
Thank you very much!!

It’s a nuisance isn’t it. There’s clearly a problem with the units, I’ve seen many complaints about the same issue, yet we have to jump through hoops to get support.

Have you had any luck from customer support!

Is someone from Nest support meant to pick up these threads and provide help 🤷♀️🤷♀️

Hi @Jewelzowen , I contacted with the service support via the nest app, and they are sending a replacement unit. They were nice and supportive. I'll let you know when I receive the unit and have it installed...hope everything goes fine. But I agree with you: certainly there is a big problem with the heat link units that must be solved. And I hope my new unit is not dying again in one year 😲

Brilliant. I really hope you get it soon.

I've tried ringing the Google service help line but it just rings out. Its very frustrating!!

I have had worst experience with the customer service. I might just reinstall old thermostat and see.

Update: I managed to get support through the online help chat function. They have sent through a replacement heat link so I'm awaiting the engineer to come and reinstall it and hopefully it works fine. Will let you know how I get on.

Great news. Hope you get it sorted soon.

After waiting 40 minutes on the phone I eventuality spoke to someone from support who said she would pass my details on to another support section and I would receive a call in 24-48 hrs about a possible replacement. I’m still waiting 3 days later. Dreadful customer support.
10-03-2021 04:10 AM
it's been a month waiting for me.
10-03-2021 07:49 AM
Oh no. That’s unacceptable.
10-05-2021 02:18 AM
Update. Following the arduous task of waiting then talking to support yesterday I was assured a replacement would be sent. Then … I received an email stating I needed to return the faulty unit BEFORE a replacement would be sent. So, I’ve had to contact support once again who stated the email is an automatic one, due to the heat link issues they are making an exception and sending out replacements FIRST. Honestly this is unnecessarily tiresome and a waste of everyone’s time. Fingers crossed the farce will be resolved soon
